The Prestigious Winter Antiques Show will Open at the Park Avenue Armory on January 23

On Friday, January 23, 2015, collectors, first-time buyers, and a variety of art, antique, and design professionals, including dealers, interior designers, and curators, will gather at New York City’s historic Park Avenue Armory for the prestigious Winter Antiques Show. Now in its 61st year, the distinguished event will welcome seventy-three exhibitors offering fine and decorative arts from antiquity through the 1960s, with one-third of the show’s participants specializing in Americana and the rest featuring European, English, and Asian objects. The unparalleled quality of the works exhibited at the Winter Antiques Show has helped establish the event as the most esteemed antiques show in the country.

The Winter Antiques Show will feature a selection of special events, including an Opening Night Party on Thursday, January 22, 2015. Kathleen Tierney, Chief Operating Officer of Chubb Personal Insurance, the show’s Presenting Sponsor, is the Chair of the glamorous and highly anticipated event. On Thursday, January 29, 2015, the Winter Antiques Show will present Young Collectors Night -- an exciting, high-energy event for new collectors, emerging philanthropists, interior designers, and art and antiques enthusiasts. Young Collectors Night will include a private viewing of the show and a “Meet the Designers” reception featuring members of the the show’s Interior Design Committee. Helmed by New York magazine’s Design Editor Wendy Goodman, the committee features over seventy of the country’s leading interior designers. For this year’s show, each designer was paired with a Winter Antiques Show exhibitor and asked to share how they would integrate a selected antique into today’s interiors, using photographs, moodboards, renderings, and more. Each designer’s unique vision has been captured in the 2015 Young Collectors Night Lookbook, which can be viewed HERE.

This year’s loan exhibition, Ahead of the Curve: The Newark Museum, 1909-2015, will feature works from the Newark Museum in Newark, New Jersey. The institution boasts vast and varied collections, including American, Asian, African, Ancient Mediterranean, and native American objects.
